Pavarottii: 1. Abiola lost in the SE. SE voted for Tofa. 2. Yorubas were part of the those that fought for GEJ's mandate in 2010 except you want to diminish that. 3. Yorubas voted for GEJ in 2011 and if you say it is because there was not other strong party then God is not in you. 4. Name three things GEJ did in the SW because you claim he is the best ever. We don't see things the same way. 5. It is unfortunate that you interprete the preference of one for the hatred of another. I strongly believe you are not a democrat and you have hate for the Yorubas. I am more interested in number 4. 2 Likes |

As much as I love GEJ, I did oppose him when he announced UNILAG as MKOU. Yes! He lacks the power; is was illegal. It would had come to reality if he consulted the NASS. Only NASS can decide the changing of name of any federal university and State house of assemblies in case of state universities. |
Re: June 12: Tinubu, Fayemi Rejected Renaming Of UNILAG After Abiola (Throwback) by BluntBoy(m): 10:03am On Jun 14, 2018 |
DoTheNeedful: Well-said, bro. I don't know why people continue to see this thing as a Yoruba thing. I can't understand how somebody will just wake up and decide to make a decision that would impact a lot of lives negatively. I had a lecturer whom we called Baba Ike during my master's program. The man is an alumnus of Obafemi Awolowo University. Whenever the man referred to OAU, he always called it University of Ife and refused to call it OAU. That is how strong the bond is. I can't understand why these tribalists keep on seeing the rejection of GEJ's gift as hatred of Yoruba for GEJ. Unilag has alumni from all parts of the country and I can bet that none of them liked the change. The name "Unilag" alone drives thousands of prospective candidates to choose the school as first choice. Why would anyone just wake up one day and rename such a university. It is like renaming University of Nigeria Nsukka to Nnamdi Kanu University. I am sure even sympathizers of Kanu who are alumni of the university will reject such a gift. 2 Likes |

Pavarottii:have u forgotten Goodluck Jonathan has a huge vote in South West? U just talking anyhow, what did GEJ did in southwest, what did he commission? how many Yoruba men do we have in his cabinet? Then u expect us to accept the renaming of our University, y can't he build another uni in southwest and name it, he went ahead renaming other existing universities, do u call that achievement? 1 Like |

Pavarottii: You watched too much of NTA during his time. I have been to all parts of SW and I can't name one. Even you can't name one hence you have to say he did many roads. Name just two of them or any other project. By the way I know we have both agreed that MKO lost in SE. At least I am 100% sure about that. If you have any contrary fact, present it. No one has ever accused Igbos of hating MKO because of that. It's not a must that we all face the same direction. 1 Like |
Re: June 12: Tinubu, Fayemi Rejected Renaming Of UNILAG After Abiola (Throwback) by odapey(m): 10:10am On Jun 14, 2018 |
Xander85: my question for you is "what year did fg name UniIfe after Awo's and what year did GEJ try to do such a thing? after how many years of existence? The FUOYE he created was supposed to b named after MKO. if he did so, there wouldn't be rejection. UNILAG carries the name of most widely known Nigeria city across the globe (even pass d FCT) and it's a pride on its own. |

Pavarottii: So voting out somebody from power is hatred,,if you really had a deep reasoning ask yourself ...who were @ the warfront against the northerners when MR yaradua died,who transition the transmission of power to GEJ, GEJ was later democratically elected by whose votes ,,could he have won without the combination of all regions in nigeria,, answer it to yourself. did the north not share there vote for Gej. the really question,what changed after 5yrs n made people vote out same GEJ they voted massively,,oooh!! suddenly we realise is not from north or south west 1 Like |

LaudableXX:Nebuchadnezar: :GEJ did NOT try anything! UNILAG was already a brand, with a recognisable identity - both locally and internationally. Changing its' name, would have killed the brand. Moreover,why change its' identity without consulting the stakeholders? It shows how insensitive GEJ was, at that time. There were more than 3 Federal Universities in the South, that had no recognisable identity or brand, whose names could have been changed or used to immortalise Abiola. Instead, GEJ stupidly tried to do a cosmetic name change with UNILAG. And it backfired big time. Silly man. How clueless can a president be? 1. GEJ was grossly uninformed. The laws and statutes of Unilag says that if you want to rename such University after an individual, it must be that that individual has a relationship with the institution. MKO has no relationship whatsoever with Unilag. 2. It is wrong, idiocy and tomfoolery to say it was Tinubu and Fayemi that prevented GEJ from renaming Unilag after MKO. Even the Unilag council, Alumi bodies, ASSU, Student Union and many other interest groups reject the idea. 3. GEJ's action was rejected overwhelmingly because that action, even if accepted would have twisted the essense of June 12. June 12 is a national mandate and not a SW mandate. You cannot just try to compensate SW because of June 12, you rather compensate the whole nation. This is what I believe other tribes don't understand about we SWers, about how we place principles above individuals, how we a primarily collectivist rather than individualistic, how we do not support even our "person" once such goes against principles and values that are altruistic. 1 Like |

fabre4: But it wasn't only Tinubu that rejected the naming. Even Afe Babalola who is pro PDP rejected it. I think that UNILAG had already assumed a life of its own and renaming would have eroded its brand equity and perhaps that was why a lot of people kicked against renaming it as MAULAG. |

LaudableXX: And May 29th is not a brand? when did the millitary officially hand over to the civilian government? why do you mark your birthday from the day you were born instead of the day you were conceived? Speaking of the title given to him, Abiola was only a president elect who was never sworn into office which (to a large extent) is just not okay. Call me what ever you want but the truth is that they used a man of quality reputation to play on your myopic intelligence just like they did in 2015 |
Re: June 12: Tinubu, Fayemi Rejected Renaming Of UNILAG After Abiola (Throwback) by ehissi(m): 11:19am On Jun 14, 2018 |
LaudableXX: And let me guess, Buhari consulted widely with the people who partook of the june 12 struggle - like Mayegun who is wondering why Baba Kingibe, who dumped and sold out MKO Abiola and served as a minister twice under Abacha was honoured alongside Abiola - or the leaders of NADECO that are wondering why they weren't in on the whole award ceremony where only some of their recommendations were carried out. Or the former Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the 2016 National Honours Committee, Justice Alfa Belgore, who is wondering why a dead man is given a post-humous award that the law only permits to be given to the living without even consulting him. There is such a thing as giving a dog a bad name just so you can hang it. There is also such a thing as dressing up a donkey in jewels just so you can crown it......... For the price of a pot of porridge, some Nigerians have done both, the height of the madness was Abiola's daughter apologising to Buhari at the event. At that point, I knew that I have seen it all. But then again, I wasn't surprised, after all she is a card carrying member of the APC. They have become birds of the same feather, after all Tony Anenih was also a members of the SDP during the june era, it's not a new something. Today they say re-Naming UNILAG as MAULAG was an attack on UNILAG, it was never meant to honour Abiola - even though it is in line with the recommendations of the Chairman of the National Honours Committee - but Awarding GCFR to Abiola post-humously is not - even when it violates the law of the land - here we see a people selling their destiny for the price of a pot of porridge...... |
